Street art has been proven to draw foot traffic into towns all over the world – so the Darwin Street Art Festival is good news for Darwin CBD businesses and creating job opportunities for Territorians.

Territory screen industry champion, Andrew Hyde, has been announced as the successful recipient of the 2018 Bob Plasto Screen Award at the Darwin International Film Festival. The award honours the achievements of a Territorian who has made an outstanding contribution to the NT screen industry.

Close to 7,000 people flocked to the Araluen Arts Centre in Alice Springs over the weekend for the opening of Desert Mob 2018, demonstrating the importance of Aboriginal art both as tourist drawcard and economic driver.
